Belgian: couldn't have described the pils better. It just has a great punch to it that some IPAs don't deliver. For me, it's the sleeper of the release. I'm drinking my second spruce beer and liking it a lot more. I think bringing to temperature down helps a bit, but I'm getting more smokiness in i...

GR Russian Gun Imperial Stout - beats the hell out of the Old Milwaukee Light I had last night. Don't ask.

Not bad. The St. Ambroise RIS is the star of the release IMO. Others I will pick up include Monster & Nogne O. Kinda getting tired of Creme Brulee... You know the LCBO is really dropping the ball when St. Ambroise is the star of the release. Normally I would agree, but the RIS is the exception....

I wouldn't be able to say if there was any recipe tweaking or not, but Corporal Punishment became Corporal's Bitter Brown Ale when it was listed in the LCBO. I only had the bottle version, but I loved it.

Hophead India Pale Ale I figured I'd take a bottle myself to try.
If you took the "six-pack" to the checkout, would they charge you the six-pack price for the three bottles that were left?

Smashbomb and Mad Tom are under 13 for a six pack why the hell would I buy that. Is it made in gold plated tanks? You could buy it because Red Racer is light-years ahead of Smashbomb, and much better than Mad Tom. Smashbomb and Mad Tom are under 13 for a six pack why the hell would I buy that. Is i...
